Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System - Preset
The InvisiBrake system vacuum pump was too weak and slow to respond . I installed an external vacuum pump from Summit Racing which maintains 22"of vacuum on the brake chamber at all times ,the same as when the Ram engine is running . I installed an isolation valve on the Ram manifold vacuum line and a momentary test switch in the Ram to simulate the coach brake lights being on . That way I can take the Ram for a drive and set up the brakes as they should be.
Read the instructions and only use the trailer video/s as a guid!! Install was tough but doable. Take your time if you want a clean install. Lastly, the kit comes with updated check valves. The video will tell you that the "red side" faces the engine. That's not true if you are using the "black side" check valve. The black side faces the engine while the red is opposite. I wasted several hours troubleshooting a stiff break pedal when in reality, I had the check valve installed just as the trailer video explains it. My bust for trusting the video and not reading the install instructions fully.

Roadmaster BrakeMaster for RVs w/ Air or Air-Over-Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional
This braking system does what it's suppose to do, smooth proportional braking between motorhome air brakes and the tow vehicle. The only reason I did not rate at 5 stars is that there is a slight misalignment of air cylinder mounting bracket and 2022 Jeep Gladiator brake pedal.
The product shipped on time and has been worry free. etrailer gets 5 stars for customer service every time I order from them.

Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional
So I never used mine. This is for those trying to decide if they need one. I tow an F250 with a 43’ tag axle, with an 8.9l Cummings. Yes I can feel the truck back there but I have never had the need for additional braking. Crossing the Snoqualmie pass on I-90 or driving through the cascades, I have no problems slowing with the engine brake. I have a big rig and tow a big truck so if this is your set up I’d give it a shot before committing to such an expensive item that I never use. I’m sure smaller rigs pulling larger trucks will benefit from a device like this.
Ordering was easy. Delivered very promptly. Actually cheaper then what the manufacturer sells it for. Live near manufacturer and having them install all my flat towing components this month. Great service Etrailer!!

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles
Evidently Roadmaster had made some slight alterations from the depiction, for the better. The fuse wiring was a spade end with two fuse holders built in. The holder closest to the spades was for the original circuit and the other for the new circuit. This was very handy. I had watched the installation video and thought it would be fairly easy; therefore I attached the terminals to the green, black, and white wires before even going to the CR-V. I did however purchase different spade connectors as I thought I may want to remove the brake relay switch in the future for another vehicle should I trade. Also the yellow connector is quite large and the video showed bending the wire over itself so that it would hold on the smaller wires. This was a wise decision. What was the problem was the wiring in my CR-V. The video showed similar size wiring from the brake switch. What I found was smaller wire, loomed very close to the brake switch. Evidently Honda had made some modifications. I believe the wire was 22 gauge and there was no real way the blue or yellow connectors would have worked. That said, after disconnecting from the switch, stripping the loom back to get some exposed wiring, cutting and using the 22-16 gauge connectors, drilling a hole for the ground screw, etc. the switch worked perfectly. I did vary the fuse location from the 7.5 Amp #29 Occupant Detection System (ODS) to the 15 Amp #28 Washer as I figured it would less likely interfere with any operation.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - GM Pickups/SUVs w/Adjustable Pedals
Just installed my secondary brake light switch in my motor home and truck to assist me in ensuring my brakes have been applied and releasing while towing my truck. I will test the new system in a couple of days to make sure everything is working correctly.
Great service! Light switch was delivered on time and is now installed. I am considering ordering the Even Break. Thanks

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Ford
This switch makes the braking movement turn on the light within our toad vehicle since our vehicle has a dead switch when in tow mode. So far it has been working fine just hard to see the tow display light maybe have to extend the display light to inside the coach dash.
Kit for perfectly. A little challenging to hold bracket in place and get nuts to bolt to dash aligned and started. Helpful hint to remove obdII bracket to make it easier to bolt bracket in place, then reinstall afterward. Etrailer service was excellent to do business with!

Roadmaster BrakeMaster for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional
Kit fits great! Hooked up a 2004 Workhorse to a 2002 Jeep Liberty. It might be preferable to be handy with some advanced mechanical skills and tools to install this efficiently. Directions are great but you do need to figure out your own locations for certain items like the break-away reservoir, compressor, routing lines and wires out of harms way, but not bad at all. Parts are great, everything there but added a couple different wiring splices of my own.
Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company. I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies). Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company. Thanks for your follow-up!
